1st Quarter Surprises - Mark Reynolds / Paul Goldschmidt
With the first 40+ games played in this year's season, there are some surprises in the standings. The Angels and the Dodgers being in the cellar in the AL and NL West is one that sticks out for me. Most people thought the Indians would be better this year, but I am quite surprised that they are in first place. As we all know, the season doesn't end until October, the divisions...
